It was already midday, and it has been eighteen years ago last Mora stepped into the civilized world. Everything seemed strange, the advance in technology, and the culture change, made her feel improper. “Mom, we can't stand here forever..." Miles paused and looked at her "are you famished?” Miles inquired, blinking his eyes innocently. Mora sighed, the worms in her stomach have been churning, “I am fine” Miles pouted, “but Mom, your face looks pale, and your lips?” When he saw that his mother is grimacing, “I will get us something to eat right away” Miles turned around, and fled before Mora could stop him, arriving at an alley, he heard noises “Pretty girl, come and play with us” Miss Sinclair puffed her cheeks, she has just absconded from home again, after being forced to act ladylike. She hated the idea of being controlled, “don't touch me” She warned, glaring at her assailants resentfully. The punks were not deterred by her provocative statement, they were even more enc
She blushed with embarrassment and puffed her chest.“I am not following you” she retorted defensively.Miles shook his head, and turned around to leave, Sandra ran after him.“Hey, what is your name? I am Sandra and you are?” she introduced herself, Miles gave her a lopsided glance.Before responding “Miles”Sandra started chatting excitedly, Miles pursed his lips tightly, contributing nothing, when they were close to the store.Sandra asked, “hey, why are you not saying anything?” she asked.Miles replied swiftly, “I don't like girls”Sandra was dumbfounded, she watched him enter the store before she turned around and left, dejectedly.An old man with silver hair rushed over, “Miss Sinclair, you are here”Sandra pouted, “Uncle Baro, I don't want to go home”“Miss Sinclair, don't say that Old Sinclair loves you the most, he will fall ill, if you disappear again” Baro explained exasperatedly.Sandra humphed, “I don't believe you”Anytime she thinks about her grandfather, she could onl
After asking Miles several questions, and didn't get anything from him.He fumed “it seems you want to spend the rest of your life in prison, very well then, I will fulfil it for you,” he said coldlyHis phone started ringing, he left the interrogation room.Miles was angry, “I wouldn't have been in this trouble if he did…”“I can hear you, why don't you just kill those bastards and walk away, no one can stop you with your powers” he heard a voice in his head say.Miles gritted his teeth, “you think it is that simple?”But the voice didn't even bother responding.Mora came out of the police station, looking frustrated, she didn't even know whether she had been walking for the past ten minutes.“Ouch!” she winced, the moment she bumped into someone.“Are you alright, Miss?” a calm voice asked softly.Mora furrowed her eyebrows at the person standing before her, even after eighteen years, he didn't change much.His matured charms tripled, and he added a bit of weight.“Philip” she mumbl
“I will take you there” he shouted with all his strength.Miles lets him go, and he slumped on the ground, gasping for breath.Sneaky was shocked, the corners of her lips twitched.“So this kid isn't weak after all”“Lead the way” Miles ordered coldly.The leader of the hooligan turned towards the busy tarred road, the fight happened on a pedestrian, and what happened caught the eyes of many people, some even took videos and pictures of the fight.Miles started trending online after it was uploaded.#HandsomeKarateKid@LoveMeOnce: He is so cute, marry me kiddo@JeffDaBass: he is underage.Miles wasn't aware, that he is a hot search on social media already.“What is your name?” Miles asked the leader of the hooligans.“Tiger”Miles didn't bother probing further, the both of them walked for two hours, Tiger was already gasping for breath, but, Miles looked like someone who has done nothing.Tiger collapsed before an abandoned steel factory, his legs were numb.“There,” he pointed toward
“Boss Coal, you don't even recognize me, you seem you don't even put the Sinclair family in your eyes”The moment he said that Boss Coal who was holding a gun panicked, his body started shivering, and he was overwhelmed with fear.Plop!He dropped to his knees and grovelled, “I am sorry, I am sorry, I don't know he has a connection with the Sinclair family”Uncle Nose looked around and saw the many men lying on the floor, some have fainted, while some were groaning painfully.He looked at Miles, that appeared harmless and weak, “kid, were you the one that did this?” disbelief was etched on his face“Um…” Miles replied.Uncle Nose was dumbstruck, “Brother Miles”Miles frowned when he saw Sneaky skipping over to his side, he wasn't expecting her here.“Why are you here?” he asked with a tone laced with concern.Sneaky winked at Uncle Nose, he cleared his throat and said while standing straight “I brought her here, this man was owing me some money”Miles could see flaws all over his reas
Sneaky didn't even bother about him, she climbed on her bed, and slept soundly.Uncle Nose slept outside.The next morning, Mora was up early, she prepared breakfast, for her son and the sudden visitor.“Sneaky, won't your parents worry about you, if you keep staying here?” Mora asked with concern, the kid is adorable, but, she isn't greedy.“I don't have parents”corners of Miles's lips twitched, due to the obvious lie, he knew Sneaky have parents.The voice of the woman broadcasting on the screen attracted their gazes, and Sneaky's face fell.“Excuse me”She abruptly stood up from the dining room and returned to her room, the woman on the screen was talking to a man and a woman.The woman was beautiful, and she slightly looked like Sneaky, “she is beautiful” Mora complimented.The woman suddenly started weeping, “my daughter”The screen turned black, “is anything wrong with the television?” Mora asked.Miles was also confused too, “check on the television, I will be leaving for work
She rushed in, that moment, the security guard at the door eyed her with hostility.“What are you doing?” he asked vigilantly, blocking the way.Mora doesn't look the best, she failed to take off the Mall's cleaners' uniform, when she wandered off, coupled with her roughened hair, and the palm print on her face.Even if she is an attractive lady in her late thirties, her demeanour has faltered.She gripped her skirt nervously, “I am here to apply for the job of piano instructor”The security guard looked dumbfounded, and then he started laughing, his face was red from laughing too hard.Considering every possibility, Mora doesn't look like someone, who could even play a key on a piano.The times have changed, but, few commoners get to learn how to play the piano, to be considered a master or someone's tutor is still high above their reach.“Ma, please, leave, we are not employing” the security guard turned her down immediately.Mora pleaded anxiously, there are plenty of bills to pay,
Sneaky smiled widely and watched Uncle Nose leave.That night, Philip came around and met with Mora."It has been four days, I hope you have made up your mind?" he asked softly, looking at his feet.Sneaky who was peeping at them frowned, Mora looked at Philip seriously, the more she looked at him, the more he resembled the man at the mall with the pretty lady."Philip, do you have a twin brother?" she asked curiously.Philip's face changed drastically, "is anything the matter, Mora, do you have a fever?" the moment he stretched his arm to touch Mora, she backed out.Philip's face darkened, he stared at his hand hanging in mid-air, and he brought it down."I don't have any twin brother..." his voice became heavy, and his eyes became bloodshot."I am sorry, Philip, I di-"Before Mora could say anything further, she was pulled into Philip's arms, Sneaky gritted her teeth in resentment."Bastard!" she cursed under her breath and turned around to look for Miles.He saw him busy writing so
